We should definitely tell Fulham to 'shove it'. The one point that no one has mentioned in this thread though, is IF Cork is attracted to the move, and the prospect of being regular first choice at Fulham. That might give a little more possibility to this.

Sherriff at Espanyol wasn't it ?

Anthony Wedgewood Benn, or Tony Benn as he used to be, now that would be a revelation !

Lee Molyneaux = totally crap and forgettable footballer and human being. The nearest thing that useless f^cker will ever get to the Premiership, or even Everton or Saints, is writing about it on Twitter.

B0ll0cks !!

Bit worrying, or just an unfortunate pose ?

I'm not old enough to remember him playing, but his face and voice were certainly a part of my youth watching sport on the box. Always seemed a gentleman.

Surprised no one has mentioned his other fetish in song " tie me kangaroo down...".

Agree. I heard on the radio last week that the French Govt were "calling for action..". Good idea, I thought, now why don't you get on with it ? But of course we know they have the good sense to sit back and wait for us and the Yanks to get involved and take the burden of the cost. Tonight we hear Cameron hinting at "not standing by .."etc. No thought as to the cost to the country. At a time we are facing cuts at home and the NHS could do with some investment, Cameron is pre-occupied with policing the arab world.

See to recall a Hampshire Flag company , although they might have a PO postcode so not encouraging at first ! Edit: From google : http://www.hampshireflag.co.uk/

Fair comment in the article, although as a Saints fans we might say he's stating the obvious. Two separate issues as I see it. One is not "breaking teams down" and creating anything. The other, as per Saturday I thought, is not taking the chances we do create. Had Ron Davies in his prime been on the end of Osvaldo's precision cross rather than Rodrigues (who tamely headed it to the GK at a height he did not have to even stretch for) then things might be different.

Very good. Probably better in a Scots accent as in the joke:Q What's the difference between Bing Crosby & Walt Disney ? A : Bing sings, and Walt dis'nae

We have got into a ritual of pre-match food at the stadium, after the trip down from Glos. So, disappointed if the pasties have gone. A bit bland sometimes, but at least reasonably filling. My sons thought the hot dog pretty average on Saturday .The alternatives are poor in my view, the burgers resemble cardboard coated with meat extract. Recall the trip to Middlesbrough and there was a better selection for pre-match grub. Probably won't resort to one of the Salmonella Express vans around the ground, so we'll have to rethink our strategy for match day grub ,pub or rolls. If I wasn't driving the pub would win hands down.

But its still a source of revenue the club would rather have going into its coffers than not all. Bearing in mind the club look to extract a parking charge midweek, if you stay in the club shop longer than the limit they set (can't recall if its 30 or 45 minutes), a captive market of bodies in the concourse, many wanting some solids to soak up some beer, should not be overlooked. You forgot the tartan blanket to keep your knees warm.

No, ridiculous to sell him, he'll be an integral part of our season this year as he was last. We are fortunate to be in the position we no longer need to sell to buy.

Now that would be a good acquisition. At the time the name Lamela first appeared, I wondered why perhaps we did not try buying upcoming South American players direct from Argentina, or Brazil rather than after wait until they had made a name - and clocked up a £12 - 20m price - in Italy.Or in the case of Piatti, until his career has come off the rails a little. Possibly the answer is uncertainty as to how they settle in Europe, or wanting to see them play in a better league standard, or does playing in Italy first make a work permit easier ? I read on a site that Roma want Lanzini before agreeing the sale of Lamela, so it would be good to scupper that deal and p1ss the yids off in the process ( Don't forgive them for the Bale deal, and lumbering us with Forecast.)

I'm sure we'll get some publicity out of it, although there will be a bit of ridicule and smirking along the way for a club and a chairman in particular who negotiated away a lucrative sell on clause. Bath Academy - yes we do, but Bristol City have in recent years challenged it as they believed it was an infringement in their area. I was pleased to hear that Bath was still going strong though, as a few years ago the Skates were quite triumphant in recruiting our scout/coach there, Rob Ruddock (?) I think, and how it signalled a change in the balance of power in the south. Wonder how their academy - no doubt sponsored by ASBO - is coming along ?

So he's not even up to the Neil McCann standard then ?

We have two 6' CB's , other who are useful in the air, yet a f^cking dwarf scores from a header ! Made I livid.

You missed the most obvious one, f'sure.. or for double points [perhaps more appropriate for Redknapp scrabble ] is "yeh, f'sure..."

yep, I thought those two came out of todays game with most credit. The Scholes comparison is one that occurred to me, as he certainly looks like a player who can influence a game.

A nice glossy souvenir that might be appropriate for a special event (which might of course sit comfortably in the corporate boxes) but totally impractical as a matchday programme for the rest of us.

Totally indifferent to this, just a bit of 'headw^nk' in the media/PR dept to keep them going. Simple fact is, that at the most important part of the week, when matches are played, the # will have a few arses parked on it and won't be visible. But nothing to get worked up about . just leave the shirt traditional, and they can have all the hashtags they want plastered almost anywhere they want, including Sibley's bellend if he so desires. #loadofb0ll0cks!

Good comment in the article: But of course they did become bosom buddies in the end.

Trouble is though, if we should learn one thing from history of getting involved, is that it is all too easy to send troops in with the intention of being saviours but difficult if not impossible to then extract yourself from the problem, not to mention loss of our own troops in the process ( Iraq, Afghanistan in recent times, and Northern Ireland closer to home). I think GB has done its share of "policing" the world's hotspots. Keep well away from this mess. If we put our troops in that might unify them for a while... both attacking the forces sent to protect them.
